Thanks. I hope the problems discussed in this thread lead to the
development of a more sophisticated range of tools for dealing
with vandals. Both Erik's solutions (allow logged-in users from a
banned IP, and automatically expire bans by default) sound good
to me. Perhaps IPs whose bans have expired could be automatically
moved to Wikipedia:IP_probation_watchlist or Wikipedia:Annoying users,
and maybe flagged up in Recent Changes?
